Abstract: Méthode et dispositif pour évaluer le facteur de formation de zones souterraines à partir de déblais de forage. Le dispositif comprend une cellule (1) associée à un appareil de mesure de la conductivité électrique de la cellule avec son contenu. On remplit la cellule contenant les déblais de forage avec une première solution électrolytique (A) de conductivité connue (.sigma. A). Après saturation des déblais de forage par la première solution (A), on détermine la conductivité électrique globale (.sigma.*A) de la cellule avec son contenu. Après évacuation de la première solution (A), on remplit la cellule contenant les déblais de forage avec une seconde solution électrolytique (B) de conductivité connue (.sigma. B), et on détermine la conductivité électrique globale (.sigma.*B) de la cellule contenant la seconde solution ainsi que les déblais saturés par la première solution. On en déduit le facteur de formation (FF) des déblais par combinaison des mesures. Applications à la caractérisation pétrophysique de réservoirs.

Granted: 2009-11-17
Abstract: Alignment of an ejector module in a printhead array is achieved along a lateral direction by arranging first and second partially overlapping pluralities of nozzles, determining an alignment pair between first and second nozzles within their respective pluralities, and assigning the alignment pair as boundaries for print actuation. The first and second ejector modules are disposed in a printhead array along a lateral direction and include first and second nozzles that eject fluid on command. The first nozzles are disposed with a first spacing therebetween in the first ejector module. The second nozzles at one end of the second ejector module that overlap the first nozzles are disposed with a second spacing that differs from the first spacing. An alignment pair between first and second nozzles of their respective pluralities is determined to minimize an alignment spacing between each other as compared to remaining nozzles. The first and second alignment nozzles are assigned as first and second boundaries for print actuation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying volume data on an arbitrary three-dimensional polygonal surface are disclosed. For each polygon in the polygonal surface, a two-dimensional texture tile is created and these texture tiles are combined to form texture atlases. Each texture atlas is allocated a specific amount of memory in a texture cache. Each polygon in the polygonal surface may be scan-converted and the resulting texels may be placed in the texture cache. Voxels that do not intersect any polygon in the polygonal surface may not be scan-converted. This method may result in reduced use of texture cache.

Abstract: Reject code handling is utilized for a more time-efficient selection of data-capable networks. One illustrative method for use in selecting a wireless communication network for communications involves the steps of causing a request for data connectivity to be transmitted through a first wireless network; reattempting the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network one or more times if a reject code comprising a non~critical error is received in response to the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network; and attempting to select a second wireless network for communications without reattempting the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network one or more times if a reject code comprising a critical error is received in response to the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a metal nozzle boss provided with a sealing device, which has highly improved tightness and is combined with a plastic liner of a composite vessel used as a high-pressure vessel. The metal nozzle boss uses an elastic seal ring and a tightening piece in the plastic liner, so that the nozzle boss reliably seals the junction of the nozzle boss and the liner and prevents gas leakage from the vessel. The blade part of the nozzle boss has a dovetail-shaped locking groove, with locking ridges formed in the locking groove. Thus, when the plastic liner is produced by injecting molten resin into the locking groove, the plastic liner is securely combined with the metal nozzle boss. The composite vessel having the metal nozzle boss can be used as a fuel tank for natural gas vehicles or a hydrogen tank for fuel cell vehicles.

Granted: 2009-04-21
Abstract: A trap apparatus includes an elongated base plate defining a trap aperture in a lower portion thereof, and a pointed bottom end. Slide grooves are defined along each side of the base plate. A trigger arm extends over the trap aperture, and is pivotally attached to move away from and toward the base plate. A slide plate is engaged in the slide grooves and slides up to a raised cocked position where the slide plate is above the trap aperture, to a lower tripped position. A bias element exerts a downward bias force on the slide plate toward the tripped position. Trip elements on the arm and slide plate engage to maintain the slide plate in the cocked position. Movement of the lower end of the trigger arm away from the base plate releases the slide plate to move to the tripped position in response to the bias force.
